*dying* i started cramping kinda bad around 11:40 this morning and it got worse at like 12:20 and then at 1 i could barely stand it, and when i got up from sitting at lunch, there was a "woosh" of liquid in my underwear and all i could think was "oh shit!" and all this was in front of my co-workers justin and voytek (now named Fuzzy hearafter). i was mortified... i hoped it wasn't too bad and i made a run for the bathroom and sure enough, she came. and a week early, no less. i'm either late or early. i seriously need this gyno appt even though i'm scared as hell to go. anywho, i made a makeshift pad out of toilet paper and luckily i go home at 2. i had to call my mom, and i work in a cubicle and my boss is over in the next cubicle, and i'm absolutely embarrassed making this phone call. i'm seriously going to die from these cramps... they're oxycontin-worthy!! (read about it here). i can't concentrate and it's really hard to type this entry... i hope the gyno can help me... i seriously wonder if i have endometriosis...

(EDIT: the answer to question 3 on that page is bull. my dad had it after his surgury.)

what your dad had was more than likely Oxycodone. many people confuse this with oxycontin. oxycodone is pretty much percocet, nothing like oxycontin. I doubt extremely highly they would give your dad oxycontin after surgery. They dont give that to many ppl..and 99% of the time its given for cancer. I wouldnt take oxycontin for menstrual cramps! Its an extremely strong pain killer that has killed MANY including one of my close friends in May of this year. Its easy to overdose due to the high dosages.

sorry im rambling, just wanted to clear this up. however, I could be wrong on your dads pills depends on his surgery, but I really doubt it..and that FAQ page is pretty correct.

Im sorry about your cramps..I get the same way. Nothing works for me, and if it does it takes about 2 1/2 hours or more to kick in ;\ It sucks!

<3 feel better.

I have no idea what is "normal" for doctors to give for pain, but my mother in law got oxycontin for her pain after she had major surgery on her hand. Apparently she was in a lot of pain and it was the only thing that helped her be functional afterwards.

Yea, some docters are different but most try to avoid it due to it being extremely addicting. I know alot of this crap just bcuz my mom is a nurse, and also I plan on going to school to be a nurse aswell, so I read alot.

it's definitely Oxycontin... dad had his hip replaced, and not to get too gruesome, but they actually hammer a steel rod partway into your femur, and when you wake up from the anesthesia, it hurts a helluva lot. they also scrape any remaining cartilage out from the ball socket in your hip, and that hurts too. this is all internal, and the scar is huge. if mine and my dad's orthopedist hadn't prescribed that for him, he would have been *really* cranky.

i know about dosages, ect, and how people crush it up and use it like heroine because my mother is a nurse who deals with people's addictions to all those ups and downs and outs and alcohol and stuff, and also their depression and other mental diseases (addiction is in that category). i'm actually considering nursing, but not in the mental health field.

sorry if my slight kidding offended you, but on a scale from 1 to ten, the pain was a 9. usually it's an 8, but this time it reduced me to tears and it takes a lot for that to happen because i take tae kwon do, and get beat up when we spar very often, so i'm used to pain... but not of that intensity. sorry.

nono it didnt offend me AT ALL. I was just stating, as I feel I have to at times bcuz some people do not know much about it, and it makes me feel better to know that I said something.

Your dads surgery sounds crazy! I was in pain just thinking about it.]

I fell ya on the cramping pain. Mine is totally unbearable most of the time, and so far nothing has worked. my next step would be off to the gyno but I really do not wanna be on BC unless I NEED to be..which I do not. so I have been trying to avoid that.

feel better <3

OxyContin *is* oxycodone hydrochloride. Percocet is oxycodone + acetaminophen. Percodan is oxycodone + aspirin. Percocet only contains 5mg oxycodone hcl, whereas OxyContin comes in sizes/doses from 10mg to 160mg.
